You can just show a graph of 1 week of volume exchange. That’s real dominance.
And that graph shows bitcoin at …. around the same number.
It cannot be “inflated” in a meaningful way, unless exchanges are “in on it”. And they’re not. They have too much to lose to play those games. Is poloniex faking that $400 million in ripple was traded yesterday?
Ripple is big not because of its market cap. It’s big because it’s used, every day, as a real medium of exchange by businesses. It’s literally twice as big as ETH… and absent the hype.
